Claude's "incognito" chat fails to prevent employer recall

A user reported that Claude's "incognito chat" feature did not prevent the AI from recalling information about their employer. Despite the feature's stated purpose of keeping sessions out of history and not using them for training, the user found that Claude referenced their employer's name. Claude's documentation indicates that incognito chats do not use existing memory and are not included in future memory entries, but this user's experience suggests a potential discrepancy or misunderstanding of the feature's limitations.
